The Colts rushed for over 200 yards last week in Houston, with Marlon Mack going loco, yet against the weak Chiefs rush D, they refused to rush the ball? Makes no sense. Marlon Mack finished with NINE carries. NINE! I'm too much of a fan to want to believe Vegas controls sports, but seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK?

Also, I feel like I say it every week, if you're on the road, never run (especially up the middle) on the first play of the game. The Colts did it yesterday, and the Chiefs were waiting on it- JUST LIKE EVERY HOME TEAM DOES! Colts lost 3 yards, and ended up going 3 and out (with a drop by Eric Ebron). Chiefs got up, and it felt like it was over before it started. 

In the nightcap, the Rams dominated the lines on both sides of the ball, and that pretty much sums it up. I've said it ever since Dak Prescott got into the league, but you take away his running game, and Dak is average, at best. Ezekiel Elliott had 20 carries for 43 yards, and Dak couldn't do shit. Be careful, Jerry, don't give Dak that $100 mil...

Chargers/Patriots today, and yes, the Chargers have mpre talent, but can Philip Rivers finally beat Tom Brady- in Foxboro? He's 0-7 lifetime v. Tom, and I'm not sure the Chargers get it done today. With that said, put all your money on the Chargers, because I can't bet for shit.

And the best game of the weekend is served last. Eagles/Saints in a rematch of an ass-blasting by the Saints earlier in the season, 48-7. Oh, how things have changed... Nick Foles is back at it, and the defense looks like the formiddable group that won the Super Bowl last year. If my life depended on it, I'd pick the Saints, but it doesn't so I'm rolling with Philly, even though I hate them, and the city, and the people.

And last, I'll discuss the coaching changes. Nowhere in sports does coaching matter more than professional football. LET"S GO!
